Mr.. JAY GOULD knows how to do hand
some thing handsomely, as is evidenced by
the manner in which he directed the super
intendent at Mt. Vernon to purchase for the
regents, and draw upon him for the cost,
the tract Of land lying near the mansion
which the lady regents were so anxious to
secure. The whole story is told in another
column Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,, and
1t is story that rebounds greatly to the
credit OF Mr.. Gould.
